that is obviously a quality built precision engine, I love the sound it make as it settles into steady running, fine work there.

That's a good looking engine and would like to see more pictures of it - might be a little cantankerous but it's sweet when you get it running right.

Thanks to the forum members for the welcome to the forum, I will post some pictures of my engines as time permits.

This one of the Stockport Vacuum Engine flame licker made from castings, getting this engine to run was a nightmare I nearly gave up trying.
